Soldeu & El Tarter
Arguably the best known area in Andorra for skiing, Soldeu and El Tarter (next
door villages) are lively, good value for money, modern and friendly, with great
skiing and snowboarding facilities.
The skiing in Soldeu is good for beginners and intermediates, and there are
some advanced descents for the more experienced skier through the powder fields
below Pic d'Encampadana. For snowboarders, Soldeu’s half pipe and an additional
natural half-pipe makes the resort a popular choice.

Hotel Euro Ski (376) 673 6666
Himalaya (376) 878 515
Sport (376) 870 600
Pas de la Casa
Often referred to locally just as 'Pas', it is the highest altitude skiing
area in Andorra.
Good snow often lasts until the first week of May, and Pas de la Casa is linked
to nearby Grau Roig, making this the best resort in Andorra for advanced skiers.
Hotels in Pas de la Casa
Hotel Alaska (+ 376) 756 000
Hotel Sporting (+ 376) 755 355
Hotel Cristina ( +376 ) 855 828
Arinsal and Pal
Arinsal and nearby Pal offer good skiing for both the novice and the intermediate
skier, and first time skiers often head for Arinsal and Pal for their first
holiday or two before heading for Soldeu and Pas de la Casa.
Arinsal is a little different from Soldeu and Pas de la Casa too in that it
has quite a few full time residents and the villages are 'year round' while
the others are fairly seasonal. For this reason Arinsal and Pal can be the perfect
answer to those who are embarking on their first ski holiday as there is more
than just skiing, Ordino and her first class sports centre is easily accessed
for example, and if you decide skiing isn’t for you, you do have other choices
too.
Also the capital la Vella is reachable by public transport, and the duty free
shopping and department stores.
Arinsal is good too for snowboard activities with a freestyle area.
Arinsal Hotels
Hotel Arinsal (+376) 835 640
Princesa Park (+376) 736 500
Aparthotel Crest (+376) 835 866
Ordino
Because Ordino has a northeast / northwest location the quality and quantity
of snow is good.
A little like Arinsal, Ordino has year round residents and is not purely a
ski resort like Soldeu and Pas de la Casa, so if you are going skiing for the
first time this could be a good place to choose as there are alternatives to
skiing closeby in case you decide you don’t like skiing or snowboarding.
Ordino has a very good sports centre for example.
Ordino also has good transport connections to the capital la Vella, with the
department stores and duty free shopping.
Ordino and Arinsal both have good child care facilities.
Ordino is good for novice, intermediate and advanced skiers, who might be
interested in the over 10km of cross-country trails.
Ordino Hotels

Hotel Santa Barbara (+376) 837 100
Hotel Arans (+376) 835 311
